So You Want A Marxist Regime?: Part 3

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007
     Well now, it just gets better and better. How long will it take for Hillary Clinton to actually begin using words like bourgeoisie and proletariat? They do have a morbidly romantic quality to them which would blend rather well with terms like “we’re all in this together” or “shared prosperity“.
    
     The only real difference between Hillary Clinton and Karl Marx is that while he was poverty stricken, she is swimming in dough. I would certainly like to know how much of her wealth she actually shares with the less fortunate. Actually, I’d prefer to know just how carefully she protects that wealth from the IRS. If I had to fathom a guess, I’d speculate that she would make a threatened mother wolverine look tame.
    
     Saying  things like “it’s time to replace an ‘on your own’ society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity” may fool some people and even inspire them to cast a vote for her, but my estimation is that it will alienate more than it attracts. Especially when the campaign season gets down to brass tacks and she is forced to defend or explain such ideology. (Assuming, of course, that any pundit who can gain access to her actually has the cajones to ask).
    
     But there can be no mistake that the rhetoric she has used recently and more brazenly is precisely what Marx and Engels espoused, which was class separation and a supposed protective love for the working class. It is clear that rather than encourage people to work hard to get as far as they can go, she advocates equal misery for all. That is, except for the ruling class, which would include her and her ilk. Since everyone can’t be equally successful we must ensure that they all fail and are miserable on the same level. But of course, we’ll need leaders still, and leading is a full time job that requires wealth, so we’ll just hang onto ours, okay? (Wink wink, nudge nudge).
    
     Marx believed that alienation is a systematic result of capitalism. Hillary is following the same strategy, attempting to break people into two groups (Edwards called it Two Americas) in her quest to end capitalism, for which she has demonstrated an obvious disdain. She already has vast wealth. Now the last goal for her is total control over the population.
    
      And she’s not even trying to be sneaky about it anymore. This could be a good thing, as long as she doesn’t lull too many to sleep.

Self Deprecating Tragedy

Thursday, May 17th, 2007
     I’m not completely sure when it began but to my recollection it was right around the late 1960’s. That was a time when Mom & Dad (read the Government) began to tolerate that which should have been addressed as poor behavior - but was successfully presented by the “precocious child of hippy-ism”  as dissent – simply because of timing. After all, how could the U.S. Government possibly engage the stifling hand of Communism abroad while simultaneously refuting the voices of dissent here at home?
    
     What happened was most likely an inadvertent - at least at first – collusion between the supposedly patriotic hippies and the forces we were fighting in South East Asia. The NVA did appreciate the help, whether inadvertant or not.  
    
     I made the analogy to prodigal children because in a sense, we are all children of America. We have always had the precious freedom to criticize our elected leaders, but we have historically done so sparingly, mostly out of respect for the flag and the sacrifices millions have made to honor that flag. But the Vietnam War changed that, and people began to develop what can only be interpreted as an utter disdain for their flag and country. Call it a permissable tantrum, if you will. We see it ever increasingly and the most astonishing thing of all is; the most affluent among us are also the most vociferous in their attacks. Much as the well-to-do child is spoiled rotten.
    
     An endearing characteristic of the most successful is a strong sense of humility. Self deprecating humor has always been a quality that acts as a magnet between the masses and the elite. But Americans on an alarmingly increasing level have felt that superiority over the third world and have expressed their false humility ad-nauseum, perhaps out of shame, but most definitely at the peril of their country.  
    
     That shame is probably at the root of the apparent willingness of our own brethren to declare that they have more respect for totalitarian enclaves than they do for America. “Cuba has better health care than America”, they bleat, to which I reply, “Poppycock!” Cuba has free health care. That doesn’t equate to “better”, regardless of Michael Moore’s opinion. Most people still flock to our shores when quality matters most. Or Life.
    
     Let’s move on to religion. Most of us have grown up singing Christmas carols in school pageants and then gathering for an exchange of trinkets around the big tree in the lobby. Perhaps the Jewish children felt somewhat slighted, but they never let on, and those with whom I attended elementary school have yet to show any signs of trauma.
    
     But now we have this huge push to eliminate any signs of that which is inarguably the foundation of our [once] great country, and even as we struggle to maintain that heritage, we are scoffed at for seeing demons where “none exist”.  Really? Then what is the battle about, and why are those who deny its very existence pushing back so hard?
    
     From the Ten Commandments in courthouses to pre-game prayers in our schools, we are being beseeched to disavow all things to do with God, and yet in the very name of “tolerance”, (I prefer to call it by it’s real name; acquiesence) we are being force fed a steady diet of Islam in which we must install footbaths for muslim students and allow for five-times-a-day prayers. When do those who display such disregard for religion finally and, inadvertantly, side with America regarding the scourge of radical islamism? Or will they take self deprecation to tragic levels?

When Lesions Become A Protected Species

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

   What a completely ridiculous concept. Everyone knows that lesions are a sign of a serious disease and should be and usually are attended to immediately. I know of few people who would allow them to spread across their skin, simply hoping that they would go away. No, most folk run for their doctor’s office post-haste.

     Who ever, in their wildest dreams, could have envisioned rich Hamptonites (that’s New York for those unfamiliar), being denied access to the beaches that they paid handsomely for because they might disrupt the mating habits of the Piping Plover? Note, I did not say destroy the Piping Plover, I was referring to a simple matter of coitus interruptus. (I doubt that birds are modest, by the way).
    
     So why not lesions? Well, because lesions don’t have feelings that can be hurt, so far as we know. Stay tuned, maybe some brilliant scientist will discover that they do, and then you’re in big trouble if you develop them.
    
     Absurd, I know, but I have a point I’m getting at here. There is a lesion, a cancer, spreading over our land that we are allowing to spread because we’re too timid to confront and stop it. It’s Radical Islam and it’s happening at a small town near you. I might add also that it is very likely fatal. Ready to begin treatment now? I thought not.
    
     Islamberg is a small, 70 acre compound located at the base of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. You’re not welcome there unless you support Osama bin Laden and the jihad.  

     “Islamberg is a branch of Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization formed in 1980 by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, who refers to himself as “the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr,” Gilani, has been directly linked by court documents to Jamaat ul-Fuqra or “community of the impoverished,” an organization that seeks to “purify” Islam through violence.”

    
     It’s a tumor growing right in our posterior and I bet that no one is willing to eradicate it. They have “rights” after all, and it would be an insult to , oh say…bomb them into oblivion. Waco taught us a lesson that we did not need to learn. The Branch Davidian was screwed up, but not a danger to America. I say this place is, and it’s not the only one.
   
     This tumor has roots that run under the skin of our soil and pop up as lesions in places like Hyattsville, Maryland; Red House, Virginia; Falls Church, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; York, South Carolina; Dover, Tennessee; Buena Vista, Colorado; Talihina, Oklahoma; Tulane Country, California; Commerce, California; and Onalaska, Washington. Others are being built, including an expansive facility in Sherman, Pennsylvania. But hey we don’t want to risk offending them by asking just what in the hell they’re training for, do we?
    
     One question: let’s say you’re just hanging out in front of the grocery store, waiting for someone shopping inside to come out. You see a man walking toward you with a sword dangling from his hand, and his gaze is levelled directly at you. You can’t be sure of his intent, and if you over-react, you might offend his sensibilities, so do you wait until he’s within range to lop off your head and see if maybe he’s going to get an appraisal on the thing? Or do you make a move to safety earlier and watch his reaction to your movements?
    
     I have always been aware of the possibilty that Government was a hairs’ width from going too far in it’s power, and I have also been concerned that liberties are a fragile thing, but it is now getting to the point where we will freedom ourselves right into the grave. Of course, at that point our souls will be free, but I’m still not ready to discover whether or not the after-life is real.

In A Perfect World…

Monday, May 14th, 2007
The speech George W. Bush SHOULD give: 
(Sent to me in an email by my cousin. Author unknown)   

     Normally, I start these things out by saying “My Fellow Americans.”  Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don’t know who  more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has  happened, and that you’re really not fellow Americans any longer. 

      I’ll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in  a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution  or something, let me assure you: there’s been no breaking of laws or  impeachable offenses in this office. 

      The reason I’m quitting is simple. I’m fed up with you people. 
 
      I’m fed up because you have no understanding of what’s really going on  in the world. Or of what’s going on in this once-great nation of ours. And  the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it  out. 
 
      Let’s start local. You’ve been sold a bill of goods by politicians and  the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is  in the tank. And that’s despite record numbers of homeowners including  record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we’re mentioning  minorities, I’ll point out that minority business ownership is at an  all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the  Clinton Administration. I’ve mentioned all those things before, but it  doesn’t seem to have sunk in. 

      Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has  rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating  in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and  most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high  because there’s increased demand in other parts of the world, and because  a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and  beachfront property than your economic security. 
 
      We face real threats in the world. Don’t give me this “blood for oil”  thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would’ve already seized Iraq’s oil  fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don’t give me this  “Bush Lied People Died” crap either. If I was the liar you morons take me  for, I could’ve easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could  be “discovered.” Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was  faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had  the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq  was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named “Clinton” established that policy. Bet you didn’t know that, did you? 

      You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during  the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models  squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the  Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to  outspend and out-tech them. 
 
      That’s not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don’t care  if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That’d be fine, as long as  they weren’t also committed to taking as many of you with them as they  can. But they are. THEY WANT TO KILL YOU! And the bastards are all over  the globe. 
 
      You should be grateful that they haven’t gotten any more of us here in  the United States since September 11. But you’re not. That’s because  you’ve got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law  enforcement and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and  difficult fight. I’m disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of “Survivor”.

      Instead, you’ve grown impatient. You’re incapable of seeing things  through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.     

      Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat’s political campaign, well, dammit, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing. 

     In this day and age, it’s easy enough to find the truth. It’s all over the Internet. It just isn’t on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you’d be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol. 
    
     I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you’re too stupid to leave a city that’s below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I’ve come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads. 
    
     So I quit. I’m going back to Crawford. I’ve got an energy-efficient house down there, that Al Gore could only dream of, and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I’m done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.     

     Oh, and by the way, Cheney’s quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there’re just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008. 

     So that’s it. God bless what’s left of America. Some of you know what I mean.

Blurring The Lines Of Guilt

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

     “These were not the actions of a terrorist, but of a paid FBI informant who helped bring down an alleged plot by six Muslim men to massacre U.S. soldiers at New Jersey’s Fort Dix.      And those actions have raised questions of whether the government crossed the line and pushed the six men down a path they would not have otherwise followed.” (Emphasis mine).  

  

     The words above are the second and third paragraphs of an AP article published today, and they exemplify so clearly the mindset of what passes for modern day “fair law” practices. Informants Scrutinized in Fort Dix Case is an attempt by an organization of allegedly fair journalists to place blame on the good guys and  make the criminals appear the victims.

     I have always been wary of the entrapment charge, don’t get me wrong. Some young guy ties one on and walks home only to be confronted by a hot looking woman throwing herself at him and then offering services for a price. He’s wrong to accept the offer, sure, but under normal circumstances would he actively seek out the services of a prostitute? We can’t say for sure, but he was enticed and he wins the case on the entrapment defense.

     On the other hand, if I was just going about my business and some FBI fellow tried to convince me that America was bad and he could help me bring her down…I would hand him over to the authorities as soon as he regained consciousness. Don’t even try to convince me that these six men are just unsuspecting victims of an evil agent of America. You can talk to the hand on that count.

     There was also an article in my local newspaper a few days ago that was reminiscent of the reaction to the Sears Tower plot. The main stream media and its minions quickly dismissed the capture of those men by suggesting that they were nothing more than a few hapless wannabes. “Bah”, they said, “they weren’t real terrorists. They were just a bunch of clowns who got caught.”

     So it is with the so-called “Fort Dix Six”. But what if they had actually succeeded? Do you think that any of the pooh-poohing pundits would view them in the same manner? No, of course not, they’d blame Bush for not finding them and stopping them before they struck. The premise is that Bush can’t actually stop the real, smart terrorists, only the faux-ones. I must ask, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to us all if we acknowledged and projected the exact opposite message to all terrorists? The very leftist journalists who decried Bush’s “Bring ‘em on” taunt are either inadvertantly or willfully sending the same message.

     By blurring the lines of guilt and suggesting that the Fort Dix Six are the parties wronged here the media and whatever cretin vigorously defends them are culpable in at the very least making us less secure.

Perhaps Barney Next

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007
   
       “I hate you                                     
            You hate me
            We’ll fight until
            The end of thee…”
    
     Ah, children’s shows. What a great teaching tool they are. And Hamas is pulling out all the stops in an effort to indoctrinate their little kiddie-poos to kill as many of us as they can. It’s just so cute, isn’t it?
    
     I’m very anxious to see who on the left will be the first in line to defend this sort of thing, especially since it was a bunch of leftists that said Bugs Bunny was too violent for our kids to watch.
 
    
     His name is Farfour, but he speaks with a high falsetto voice and sure as hell looks an awful lot like Mickey Mouse, doesn’t he? I can just hear his fun and exciting episodes each week:
    
     “So remember boys and gi…wait, NO girls! So remember boys, join the Farfour Mouse Club today and along with your mouse ears, you’ll also receive a dull, rusty scimitar. Great for lopping off the heads of the infidels! Join today!”  Moms and Dads looking in on their little cherubs from the kitchen, smiling. Poignant when you think about it.
    
     We have examples of schools in Great Britain omitting historical facts simply because they “offend” the muslim children. Who is to say that right here in America, muslim parents aren’t teaching their children that the Holocaust is a lie? And how long will it be before schools begin altering curricula to suit their “sensibilities”? Fred Thompson is right, we have no right to stop them from believing what they choose, but we certainly have every right and responsibility to teach history as it was, not to accomodate what makes a particular group uncomfortable. As they say, the truth hurts.
    
     With cable companies going out of their way to provide programming in various languages to make immigrants who refuse to adapt to American society, (a subject unto itself), isn’t it entirely possible that muslims will be clamoring for their own heinous versions of programming? I can see it now…blood flavored Bazooka bubble gum with jihad cartoons starring a young Bazooka Ahmed with a patch over his eye. Swell.
    
     Yeah yeah, I know. I’ll get slammed by “well-meaning” libs who will demand to know why I’m so biased and hateful. But to be perfectly honest, I’m worried about future generations of Jihadists, and I hate dying.
  
     Especially at the hands of a fictitious character.

Logan’s Run or Soylent Green?

Monday, May 7th, 2007

 Try very hard to think of a way to reduce Earth’s population down to one billion “radically and intelligently”. I’ll wait…

    
     Yeah, I didn’t do too well, either. What a crazy concept. The only problem is, there is actually at least one lunatic out there who has proposed that very thing and considering how he views Humanity, I think he’s serious. We use every means at our disposal to kill viruses that want to kill us and we lose not a moment’s sleep at their demise. Now imagine some fruitcake out there who views you and I in the same manner; we’re the virus!
Population to Drop below 1 Billion
 
     Sea Shepherd founder says mankind is a ‘virus’ and we need to ‘re-wild the planet.’
    
     You heard me…Paul Watson, founder and president of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society wants you and I, or at least one of us, dead. My guess would be both, though. He considers mankind a virus, a cancer (he even referred to us as “the AIDS”) on the Earth, and we must be erradicated in large numbers.
    
     He’s not very shy about it, either. He wrote an editorial on May 4th in which he said:
    
     “Curing a body of cancer requires radical and invasive therapy, and therefore, curing the biosphere of the human virus will also require a radical and invasive approach.”  Yikes! Keep this guy away from the nukes, okay?
    
     Just when you thought this global warming hoopla was a mere annoyance, now we have this guy on the scene and I’m willing to plunk down a few dinar and bet he has a following. Imagine a group of his followers. Imagine a horde of them. Now imagine a legion. Am I the crazy one? Well, let’s take a look at history.
    
      How many science fiction stories from the past have had the most fantasic themes, and how many of those have come to fruition? The bad news is, it works with bad things as well as the good.  
  • Men flying into outer space on rockets. Bah!
  • Computers right on your desk, with access to everywhere. Bah!
  • Robots doing daily chores. Bah!
  • A madman who wants to wipe out 80% of humanity. Preposterous!

     Yeah, tell me about it. Don’t we have a bunch of folks up on Capitol Hill working overtime on new hate crimes legislation? Don’t you think they should take a close look at this nut? Oh yeah, and once those of us left standing begin the task of dealing with his version of the “new world”, he has a few rules to dole out.

     “Who should have children? Those who are responsible and completely dedicated to the responsibility which is actually a very small percentage of humans. Being a parent should be a career. Whereas some people are engineers, musicians, or lawyers, others with the desire and the skills can be fathers and mothers. Schools can be eliminated if the professional parent is also the educator of the child.”   Ay Carumba! Get the butterfly net, quick. 

     So what do you think, should we get ready for the reality TV show, “Logan’s Run”? I say we just run this Watson fellow off the planet. 

     But that’s just me.

The Truth Of Goebbels’ Lies

Friday, May 4th, 2007

    If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. -Goebbels

 

     Joseph Goebbels, the King of Propaganda, knew all too well how to get the “message” out. That is, the desired message, the one designed to blind people to the fact that they were being fed lies as truth and to make them accept the fallacy willingly.

    

     For those few of you who have no idea who this man was, he was Hitlers biggest cheerleader and one of the madman’s closest associates during Hitler’s reign of horror. And as Propaganda Minister to Nazi Germany, one of his first acts was to order the infamous book burning of those written by Jews or anti-Nazis of any stripe.

    

     OK, so now all of you know who he was even if only on a semi-cognizant plane. At least you know he was a cretin of the highest order, that is the most important thing. Well ok, the second most important thing, the first being his words at the outset of this article, and the embracement of those words by today’s media and liberal talking heads, e.g., Hollyweird.

    

     We are hammered over the head on a constant basis by liberal talking point lies to the point that people begin to follow as lemmings, much as some will stumble upon some demonstration and, in a state of comfortable numbness, begin chanting along with the rest of the crowd simply because it “feels right”. Fervor and overt enthusiasm has that effect on some people and many will chime in without a single question as to the reason for the protest. Frightening when you stop to think about it, really.

    

     So what have we been hearing for the past oh,…6 years? Let’s examine. The list is long and if I miss a few I make no apologies. Keeping up with the moonbat media is hard work. And of course, the first one is obvious:

   

      BUSH WAS “SELECTED” PRESIDENT.

     Those of us who remain shrouded by the protective cocoon of knowledge know that this is a lie and yet we are accosted daily by people who derive most of their information from shows such as “The View” and “The Daily Show”. And so we have multitudes of people running around with “Bush Stole The Election” bumperstickers and matching attitudes. Where we actively seek out our information to be… well, informed, those folks are bombarded with the lie simply by zoning out to watch TV. Think it doesn’t sink in? Think again.

     

       BUSH LIED ABOUT THE WAR AND “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”.

     Despite the clear evidence that virtually every leading democrat was saying the same thing about WMD’s as Bush, there is a defense offered by the left for their dear politicians. “They didn’t start a war based on the lies. Bush did!” The fact remains, he couldn’t have done it without them! And the myriad quotes by Dems saying the same about Saddam were made largely before Bush was President. Not to mention that the moonbats seemingly defend the so-called “lies” of their people simply because they didn’t start a war. Amazing.

     While he was aboard the Lincoln and the “Mission Accomplished” banner was prominently displayed, Bush never said that the war was over, as many are led to believe. He said that the mission of removing Saddam Hussein from power was accomplished, and it was, and rather quickly I might add.

     

     SADDAM WAS NOT A THREAT AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11.

     Please. Saddam was thumbing his nose at the world by not giving full access to inspectors as part of the cease-fire agreement from the first Gulf War. He was shooting at our planes on a daily basis as they patrolled the no-fly zones north and south of Bahgdad, and he was privately funding suicide bombers’ families.

     And would someone PLEASE find any kind of evidence that Bush EVER said that Saddam was connected to 9/11? It simply was never said by our President. But Rosie O’Donnell makes that argument with regularity and people buy it every time. Good little Goebbels, she is.

    

     OK, I gave the impression that this was going to be a long piece, but truth be told, I’m exhausted, and I am done. This has “Part II” written all over it, and I will probably indulge in the next day or two, but for now I’ve said “all I have to say about that”.  Comments are welcome and if anyone would like to add to the list, please feel free.

-Woody
